I shake mine in a jar also and if I am going on a trip and think I might make a salad, I have a "travel jar" I take with me but I'm weird like that. We even took our favorite knives to France because we weren't sure the house we rented would be equipped well. I really like your blog - I shall return.<BR/>SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518066744588742139.post-74581558786477259882009-01-30T14:36:00.000-07:002009-01-30T14:36:00.000-07:00hi sally..tell me more about making your own musta...hi sally..tell me more about making your own mustard...i always wanted to try this too...Napa Farmhouse 1885https://www.blogger.com/profile/12448265276212974105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518066744588742139.post-70652850239032442942009-01-18T15:37:00.000-07:002009-01-18T15:37:00.000-07:00You guys win.

What is buying salad dressing all about? I've tried Donna's method and it works a treat. I also just add a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon and freshly milled salt and pepper to the salad at the last moment - a little toss with the servers and you're ready.<BR/><BR/>PS I found a great recipe by "The Feast Within" for making your own mustard. I'd never thought about doing this before, but tried it and it was brilliant. You can play with all sorts of flavours too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518066744588742139.post-38290085655435816342009-01-16T21:57:00.000-07:002009-01-16T21:57:00.000-07:00Hi Diane,Dinner tonight was SALAD!

I just mix my dressing in the bottom of my large wooden salad bowl (oh, yes, it is also old) each time I make salad and then put the salad ingredients on top and mix it all up with my hands. (Clean, most of the time.) Here it is: <BR/><BR/>2-4 T good EVOO<BR/>1-2 cloves garlic, smushed<BR/>salt and pepper to your taste<BR/>1/4 t mustard seed<BR/>1/4 t celery seed<BR/>1-3 T fresh lemon or lime juice<BR/>Beat with wisk till emulsified and you are done. No jar to wash.Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518066744588742139.post-65226412541662704302009-01-14T21:21:00.000-07:002009-01-14T21:21:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree more!
